Stage 2 m240i vs Vortex std Mk7R

[Superfreak]

A car friend of mine has a really nice m240i and we rolled from maybe 50 and he walked me fairly slowly (to maybe 100+?). Tried to record it but camera didn’t work. He had a passenger and I didn‘t. FWIW he’s on MHD 2 91oct tune with catless DP and Kyostar intake. I’m on Vortex std with stock dp, 91oct custom e-tune. Both cars are automatic but I don’t think his is DSG/ DCT. He either can’t or doesn’t keep up in the turns but walks me in the straights. Sorry no video. Nice car and great performance for the money.

These things move for sure, my dad has an M235i (same car but with the older N55 engine rather than B58) with BM3 Stage 1 93 octane and it really rolls out. It feels like it would pull on my buddy's stage 2 MK7R

How much power do you think you're making with the Vortex on stock dp?

Yeah it’s faster than I’d expect but that engine responds so well to mods, like the ea888 . I have a hard time trying to put a number on power for my car. ~400whp/ 400 ft-lbs? Seems like somewhere around there but I really don’t know. I almost want to pay for a dyno run but unsure if I’ll care enough to do that. Maybe I will if I go with an ethanol map.

B58 is a monster of a motor. Sounds like your R holds up quite well. I got destroyed by a tuned B58 M340i in my tuned IS20 Alltrack.

Yeah BMW really knows how to make a 6 pot!

400/400 is a pretty solid performance level to be at especially on 91, I'm sure you're able to outrun most n/a V8 muscle at that point

I’m trying to hurt egos every chance I get. It’s hilarious how well the golf does, though it seems like altitude plays a big part. It was a huge surprise when I found out that I could pull on a v10 r8 last year and I’ve been trying to see what level of performance I‘m at ever since. Ultimately I’m trying to figure out how much I need to spend to get a better performing car, which is a fun challenge. I think I’ll have to spend another 20-30k to match or exceed the performance that I have now, but there’s always a wildcard with tuning and modding.

You have any logs to share of your car with he vortex and the stock dp?

I haven’t uploaded any logs for awhile but here are some older ones.

I grabbed a log up above 13k’ a couple weeks ago but the road was shit and couldn’t really get to WOT for any amount of time. Car runs well up past 14k’ though!
